Ikelite 200DL Overview

From Manufacturer

Capture brilliant images at depths as great as 200' with your Canon EOS R5 mirrorless camera in Ikelite's 200DL Underwater Housing, which features the Dry Lock Port Mount and vacuum valve. An Ikelite bulkhead with a manual hot shoe connection enables reliable electrical triggering of optional external strobes via sync cords. Using an optional TTL hot shoe and the CT2K Canon TTL Kit (#46072) will allow for TTL operation with compatible Ikelite DS strobes; non-Ikelite strobes will still work in manual mode only.

Ergonomic mechanical controls, including push buttons, dials, and levers, afford access to all essential camera functions. The spare M16 threaded accessory port provides an attachment point for third-party accessories, including HDMI bulkheads. Built for durability, the enclosure is made from a corrosion-resistant polycarbonate and ABS plastic blend. It is white on the front, top, sides, and bottom but clear on the back to allow you to monitor the O-ring seal and maintain your view of the camera's rear controls. The supplied aluminum tray with a left-hand quick release grip affords improved balance and handling while offering an attachment point for an optional lighting arm.

The housing ships without a required lens port, and it accepts various interchangeable domes and flat ports for a broad array of lenses. For full compatibility details, see the port chart. The included vacuum valve for checking watertight integrity provides added security against leaks at the surface, before the dive. You'll need to purchase the required pump in order to remove excess air and actually create a vacuum to confirm the integrity of the seal.

Construction Details
  • Depth rating of 200'
  • Made by hand from a corrosion-resistant polycarbonate and ABS plastic blend
  • White on the front, top, sides, and bottom to reflect sunlight and keep the camera cool when shooting at or above the water's surface
  • Clear in the back to allow you to monitor the O-ring seal and maintain your view of the camera's rear controls
  • Nearly neutral buoyancy in fresh water
  • Open-groove design suspends the rear O-ring in the natural position, allowing for easier maintenance and preventing accidental twisting or stretching
  • Front-loading mounting plate enables quick camera installation and does not need to be removed in order for you to gain battery or memory card access
  • The mounting plate has a 1/4"-20 threaded hole on the bottom for connection to an optional tripod
Strobe Connection and Operation
  • Ikelite ICS-5 bulkhead connector with a manual hot shoe connection enables reliable electrical triggering of strobes
  • Optional DL5 DS Link Canon TTL Converter Ikelite CT1 Hot Shoe Kit (#46075) enables TTL operation with compatible Ikelite DS strobes
  • TTL Converter supports rear curtain synchronization and allows exposure compensation to be adjusted using the control in the camera
  • Non-Ikelite strobes, such as those from Sea & Sea, INON, and Nikonos, will still work in manual mode only
Controls and Handling
  • Shutter and AF-ON (back-button focus) levers are curved and extendable for comfortable use when holding the optional right-hand quick release grip
  • Extra-large, soft-touch zoom knob is located next to the grip handle
  • All push-button controls are machined and hard anodized aluminum to reduce weight and resist salt buildup
  • Ergonomic mechanical push buttons, dials, and levers afford access to all camera functions except for depth of field preview, multi-function lock button, and multi-controller (can be pushed in for use as a user-programmable button)
  • Control symbols are laser-etched into the back of the housing, so they won't fade or fall off with time
  • Super-Eye Viewfinder enhances your view through the camera's OVF when you're wearing a mask
  • You can remove the Super-Eye quickly if you'd like to attach the separately sold Straight or 45° Magnified Viewfinder instead
  • Hard anodized aluminum tray with a left-hand quick release grip affords improved balance and handling while offering an attachment point for an optional lighting arm
  • 1/4"-20 mounts and other mounting points enable connection to a tripod and the addition of accessories
  • Another 1/4"-20 threaded mount is located front and center on the housing above the port mount, allowing for the attachment of a focus light, GoPro action camera, or other lightweight piece of equipment
Lens Port System
  • Ships without a required lens port
  • Accepts all Ikelite Dry Lock (DL) dome and flat ports, allowing you to shoot with a wide variety of lenses
  • Zoom gears are available for many lenses
  • For complete compatibility details, see the port chart linked above
  • DL port system accommodates lenses with large diameters
  • Provides added security against leaks at the surface, thanks in large part to the included vacuum valve that helps you check watertight integrity before the dive
  • Pump (#47011) is required to remove excess air and actually create a vacuum

Ikelite 200DL Reviews

Game-changer.

By James

Until I got this housing, I've been using a less-expensive competitor's flexible housing. It worked fine, but I was shooting with my older Canon 5D Mk IV, because I didn't trust that housing with my new R5. This new Ikelite housing provides a real sense of confidence that there will be no leaks, so I trust it with the more expensive, newer camera. The better sensor, lens and focusing speed of the R5, along with the positive control and clear display of the 200DL housing, makes the combination a whole new level of quality. My ratio of usable shots has quadrupled with this combo, making my time underwater much more efficient. The dual handles, trigger extensions, and large, clear back cover make the 200DL easy to handle and predictable to shoot with. Very happy with this purchase.

The best

Would the housing and accessories support the 28-70mm F2 lens as well?
Asked by: Derek
This items ships without a lens port or extensions, meaning it will not work with a lens until you purchase the necessary attachments. Based on the chart from Ikelite, it seems the RF 28-70mm f/2 is not a currently supported lens. Please contact the manufacturer for more information on what extensions/domes/ports might be required.

Will this also work with the Canon R6?
Asked by: Alex
No, the Ikelite 200DL Underwater Housing for Canon EOS R5 Camera is not compatible for use with the Canon EOS R6 Mirrorless Digital Camera. The correct MFR SKU number for the Ikelite housing designed for the Canon EOS R6 would be MFR # 71766. Unfortunately, as of the time/date of this reply, we do not currently carry the Ikelite housing for the Canon EOS R6 in our inventory.
